Hollywood Hunter

Burbank.

A screening room at Warner Studios.

Until the end of the end caption, everyone in the screening room was still immersed in the shocking visual journey of just over two hours.

This is the first internal audition after the first title of the officially named Batman series. Warner Bros. Pictures and Daenerys Entertainment all attended. Even Steve Rose took the time The east coast flew over.

After the surprising ending egg, the lights came on, and Steve Rose, who sat side by side with Simon, applauded first.

In the bright light, people with different expressions of admiration, aftertaste, astonishment, shock, etc. still reacted on their faces, responding one after another.None of them made a posture to please Simon.The more people who have a deep understanding of the movie, the more they can understand how breakthrough the superhero movie they have just watched. Many amazing details in the movie have never appeared in previous Hollywood movies.

It can be said that the last time this kind of shock to everyone was probably only George Lucas.

Everyone couldn't help but have an idea at this time, Simon Westero's this will definitely become the object of reference imitation of Hollywood action movies for many years to come.

In addition to a series of stunning technical details, the plot of the film is also in one go.

The final edited version completed by Simon is 3 minutes long.

Before watching the movie, there were people who thought that such a period of time needed to continue to be compressed. Now, no one has such a thought.

From the beginning of the film's initial wedge, the entire film's compact plot has always firmly controlled the audience's attention. When the subtitles rise, most people's first feelings are just unfinished. The last egg in the subtitles is also just right. The audience's desire for a sequel.

After the applause stopped, Steve Rose said to Simon: "I think the sequel can start now."

Simon Road: "Actually, from the first project, the sequel has already started planning."

Steve Rose thought of the last egg in the film and laughed: "I can't wait to see the second one."

After chatting like this, the staff showed you the theme posters of several films. After a brief discussion, everyone left the screening room.

It was almost noon.

This afternoon was a publicity conference targeted by the two companies’ release teams. Simon had other things and did not plan to attend in person.After confessing to Robert Rem who was in charge of this matter, he walked side by side with Steve Rose to the parking lot of the Studio.

Because it was a working day, passers-by on both sides of the road nodded to the two big brothers from time to time.

Responding casually to the greetings of the people around him and chatting a few gossips, Steve Rose said again: "Speaking, Simon, congratulations on being the richest man in the Union."

On the day the magazine was released last Saturday, Steve Rose called.

Simon just nodded and said, "Thank you."

Steve Rose asked: "So, what are you going to do next?"

"Next, I want to take a year off, let go of company affairs, be a bystander as much as possible, sort out some things, learn some things."

Steve Rose froze for a while. He actually wanted to lead the topic to another place. Hearing Simon say this, he quickly agreed: "That's good, Simon, you've realized that most people have lived all their lives. Unachievable goals should indeed be stopped to think carefully."

Simon smiled bitterly: "However, this matter is simple to say, I really want to stop, but it is not so easy."

Not to mention the other, just the 0 movie plan that was opened some time ago, Simon must spend a lot of time at the helm.What's more, there are many other things in the plan that need to be implemented within the next year.

When Janet first heard Simon said he wanted to take a long vacation, he said that he probably didn't want to let go, but it was.

Steve Rose smiled and nodded in sympathy.

Simon nodded seriously and asked again, "What about you?"

Steve Rose knew what Simon asked, saying: "Paramont’s attempt to prove that Time Inc.’s change to Warner Bros.’s acquisition plan was resisted by their judges, unless they were able to produce new evidence, Otherwise, the case will end at the end of the month."

Paramount Communications, Time Inc. and Warner Brothers litigation. Paramount’s original reason was to protect the interests of shareholders and provided some documents to prove that Time Inc. was the acquiree in the merger between Time and Warner. With the support of the Delaware court, Paramount was able to participate in the bidding era company.

It is a pity that because the evidence is insufficient, the accusation was rejected.

Recently, Paramount put forward new evidence that Time Corporation and Warner Bros. adjusted the acquisition plan in order to resist Paramount's offer.

This is actually a fact that everyone with a discerning eye can see, but in the courtroom, Paramount is destined to prove it difficult.After all, the unanimous Time Company and Warner Bros. executives could never admit that the change in acquisition strategy was to resist Paramount’s offer.

The parties refused to admit that it was impossible for substantive documents to point to this point, as long as Time Company and Warner Bros. came up with some sounding excuses to refute and Paramount was destined to return.

The two came to the parking lot and rushed to lunch at a restaurant near Warner Studios.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, at the end of the lunch, Simon and Steve Rose had just walked out of the dining room, and the flashlight not far away turned on.

These days, the media's discussion about Simon's winning the richest man in the Federation seems to be full of enthusiasm. It also happens that such a ridiculous thing as the "psychic class" fraud case. Although Simon's life rhythm is step by step, there are many paparazzi around him. Follow the daily routines of the richest man in the new Federation.

"Simon, seriously, as long as Warner is involved in the field, we all have the possibility of cooperation."

"I will, Steve."

The two said goodbye, and Simon couldn't help but consider Steve Rose's invitation for more in-depth cooperation at lunch.

Speaking of it, it’s not just D. Many assets in Warner’s hands are of great interest to Simon, such as Warner’s cable TV operating system, and HB, which is still in the hands of Time Company.

The future of Hollywood is the world of integrated media groups. If Daenerys Entertainment does not have its own TV network, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the media field in the future. Therefore, Simon has been considering entering the TV field during this time.

However, Warner is not the best partner for the time being.

In the afternoon, the lead actor audition, Simon drove to Fox Studios in Century City, Beverly Hills, his mobile phone rang on the way.

Jennifer called from Santa Monica and said it was Christopher Scars, chairman of the Australian Qintex Group. Contacted here and hoped to invite Simon to dinner.

Simon also heard about the attempt to acquire MGM in Australia these days. There is not much relevant information in memory. I mentioned it when I talked with Janet. The woman told him to ignore it the next day. Passed a piece of information.

Qintex Group is a comprehensive investment company headquartered in Brisbane, Australia. Some of them are similar to Westeros, with media, hotel, retail, tourism and other businesses involved.

However, the information transmitted by Janet shows that the Qintex Group has been expanding too rapidly in recent years, and the debt ratio has reached a very dangerous level. As long as it encounters some conditions, it may go bankrupt, and it will not be able to take out $0 billion. To acquire MGM Group.

Qintex chairman Christopher Scars's mind was nothing more than pulling some unexplained capital to work together and wanting a white glove.

Janet also conveyed her father's evaluation of Christopher Scars on the phone. This person is likely to go to prison in the next few years because he can't afford the loan and used too many illegal methods.

On the phone, he told Jennifer to refuse each other’s invitation. Simon got off at the Fox Studios parking lot and was about to rush to the administrative building. A female voice came behind him: "Simon."

Looking around, the first thing that attracted Simon's attention was the four long legs stretched out in white jeans that could be called heartbroken.

These are two women, one is Jerry Hall who greeted Simon at the last Columbia Pictures party, and the other Simon also knows, named Ella McPherson, the most famous super in North America in recent years One of the supermodels, there is also a nickname of'TheBdy', which shows the devil figure of this woman.

The two women quickly approached, probably noticing Simon's gaze, with smiles on their faces.

Simon did not hide, and reached out to Jerry Hall, saying: "You two still don't run around everywhere, so walking on the street, many people will definitely hit the lamppost."

"You're so overbearing, Simon, worrying about hitting the post won't let us take the street," Jerry Hall smiled and shook hands with Simon, and said again: "This is Ella McPherson."

"Hello, Miss McPherson."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Westeros, so nice to meet you."

Ella McPherson responded restrainedly, looking at the man in front of her with curiosity.

Simon and Ella McPherson shook hands and turned to ask Jerry Hall: "Why are you here?"

Jerry Hall said: "I came to audition for a small role, and I happened to meet Ella to come to audition."

"ended?"

"Yeah, I'm planning to go shopping together to see if a man hits the post."

"Maybe even a woman can."

"Hehe," Jerry Hall smiled and asked, "How about you, Simon?"

"Same, audition."

"Then you must be auditioning someone else."

"You are already so beautiful and so smart, I won't praise you extra."

"I don't want it anymore, and I will be praised by Westeros, and I will probably faint."

With a few laughs, Simon looked up at his watch and said, "So, I'll talk when I'm free."

Jerry Hall hesitated and said, "Simon, when are you busy?"

"There are too many things, maybe you can't get busy without sleeping."

"In this case, wait for a lazy drink with coffee?"

"I'm afraid this won't work. There are too many paparazzi who have been with me lately.

"It’s just coffee, not a date."

"Unfortunately, the paparazzi don't think so."

Jerry Hall didn't get too entangled, but just nodded regretfully.

Simon is about to leave. Ella McPherson, who has just kept silent, suddenly said: "Mr. Westeros, can we go over and see how you auditioned?"

Simon paused and looked at Ella McPherson and said, "Otherwise, there will be a party over Cold Water Canyon on Saturday night. President A, Jonathan Friedman, you can come over. By the way, Have you signed an actor contract?"

"Signed recently, it happened to be A."

Simon guessed that Jonathan was probably following I's strategy of expanding business into the fashion industry, and nodded: "This is just right. If you are free, I will call Jonathan to prepare two invitation letters for you."

"Then it's done," Ella McPherson agreed, and quickly pulled out a business card from the shoulder bag and handed it over, "Mr. Westeros, this is my contact information."

Simon took the business card from the woman and collected it. Finally, he nodded to the two women and walked towards the administrative building.

The four major fashion weeks in autumn have already begun. This year's Milan Fashion Week opens on September 22nd. Gui's Spring/Summer 990 fashion show is scheduled for September 23rd. Simon and Janet will probably rush to Europe on September 20th. , At the same time began Simon's vacation.

Today is also September 3, Wednesday, one week before departure.

After the original plan was completed, I started to take a break, but the facts were very difficult.

Already killed, began to enter the later stage.During the tense filming process, Simon couldn't ignore it at all.The key projects of Gaomen Pictures also need Simon's distraction.In addition, the zero film plan confirmed that the four films that will be released next year, and these four films need Simon to be at the helm, and then count the operation of the North American bond market in October, Simon's so-called'vacation' is hard to be true.

Moreover, this is based on Simon completely letting go of the Daenerys entertainment TV business.

In September, Daenerys TV produced four new blockbuster reality shows. In addition, there were six TV series projects, all of which fell on Robert Iger.

Fortunately, all four reality shows laid a good foundation last year. As long as Robert Iger does not mess up, he will not mess up.

Simon was very relieved of Robert Iger.

As for the TV drama business, Simon can't spare any energy for the time being. Although he expects Robert Iger to bring some surprises to himself, he doesn't expect much.

Simon Floating continues to be busy in the ripples of public opinion that became the richest man in the Federation, looking forward to a trip to Europe in late September.It's just that the new week has just begun, and the dispute between Daenerys Entertainment and Whitney Houston's contract with the record company Alistar Records has once again become the focus of media attention.
